Fisherman and weaver museum
The fishing and weaving museum in Steinhude was opened on May 7th, 1989 by the Friends of the Fishing and Weaving Museum Steinhuder Meer eV. The half-timbered house built in 1850 was inhabited until 1984. The owners had hardly changed anything over the decades, so that the furnishings for the museum could be taken over with the original furniture from the past 100 years. The museum deals with the mixed acquisition of fishing and weaving, which was typical for Steinhude.
exhibition
The visitor gets an impression of the life of a fishing family. The room layout in hall, living room, kitchen, living room and study, bedroom, pantry and inner courtyard with stables largely corresponds to the construction time. While the rooms on the ground floor including the furniture have largely been preserved in their original state, exhibitions on the history of fishing, house slaughter and mechanical weaving have been set up in the former stables. A Steinhude peat barge and a fishing boat are set up in the covered courtyard . The museum shows the steps in flax processing , and on the top floor there is a special exhibition room and a large weaving room with four functioning looms.
The history of linen weaving in Steinhude
Many Steinhuders practiced the craft of linen weavers as early as the 17th century . The weavers' guild with 45 members was founded in 1728 to regulate this . At that time there were 93 houses with about 600 inhabitants in Steinhude. The hand loom was also used in the museum building. When it was built in 1850, the living and working space was increased to accommodate a damask loom in the back of the room. This loom had a high head and the master weaver was working on it . The Steinhuder weavers specialized in table linen in the 18th century: so-called Wilhelmstein ceilings were made on the damask looms as a pattern weaving mill.
The seamless shirt gives an impression of the craftsmanship of weavers in the 18th century . It was woven in one piece by Johann Henrich Bühmann (1709–1773) around 1728 in order to avoid the years of travel prescribed by the guild . Sleeves, buttonholes, collars and cuffs were created during weaving. Guild objects such as a journeyman's staff or two pewter jugs called "Willköm" are exhibited. Every new master had to drink from the master will of the Steinhude weavers' guild when they were accepted.
Toy museum
The Steinhude Toy Museum has been set up on two floors in the converted Spieker since it was merged with the Steinhude Fishing and Weaving Museum in May 2012 . It is dedicated to the topic of the cultural history of toys and places the "stuff to play with" in the context of the time it was created.
exhibition
Historical dolls from two centuries are on display on the ground floor. Bourgeois girls were thus prepared for their intended role as lady of the house. The fine dolls have rarely been used. Bourgeois boys trained their technical understanding with tin toys . A traditional bourgeois family model is reflected in the toys of the 19th century .
The tour on the upper floor of the toy museum gives a chronological and thematic overview of the cultural history of toys with a focus on games . The oldest shown object is a miniature club from the Mesolithic with references to its use as a toy. The museum operates a game rental shop and takes part in the annual event Stadt, Land, Spielt! part, the nationwide game day.
